hurt leg

My little Billy jumped off a hay pile and hurt his front leg. He let me touch it and all, so I didn't think it was severe, but he's still limping pretty bad (it's been probably around 5 days now) and now he won't let me touch it. What do you all think?

First of all are you sure that nothing broke? It doesn't sound like anything is, just thought I would ask.
I would give him some asprin two times a day in some grain. I bet he sprained something and he is just really sore. The asprin will help with any swelling if there is any inside.
I also use Arnica Montana for things like that.
